kickhaltsforlife Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Already voted, but just wanted to say something else. Fire of Eternal Glory I personally think was the best arranged and best performed ballad in the history of DCI. Is the finals recording perfect? No. But #### does it sound amazing. That is the reason this show was my favorite out of the listed above. I feel that Phantom'93 is almost underrated sometimes. I feel like this show is one of the classics, and it's up there on the list of one of the best shows ever for me. I thought their visual package was pretty good this year too. Couldn't compete with Star though. Anyway, there should be more 93 votes, lol. Just wanted to express how much I love that show... it's just one of those shows I really get into.

Matt_S Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 For me, Phantom '93 was the last of a breed. It's the last major show I can think of to combine a couple of unrelated pieces of music and play em all without any thought to how they would tie it all together. That approach used to be the norm in DCI, but I'll confess it makes it hard for me to enjoy the show. Taken on their own, every section of the show is superb - but each section is also so different in style that I feel like I'm stopping and starting over every few minutes. If I want Fire of Eternal Glory, I'll pull up either of the specific recordings I have, rather than the full 1993 show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
